Only You

Chapter 60: 999 & a Toast

"Put it in."

"I'm trying."

"Just push it through."

"I don't want to hurt you."

"You're not going to hurt me, Nickie. Just do it."

"You're making me nervous. One second."

"Just slip it in, honey. It's okay."

"Okay, okay."

"I'm not feeling anything."

"Because I didn't move. You're ready?"

"Yes. Just push it through."

"That doesn't sound right."

"I'll count you down. Three, two-"

"One second, can I try another method? One that doesn't sound so forceful?"

"It'll be a pinch; the hole just needs to be pushed open."

"Shush. Let me try something."

He slowly stuck the earring through her closing pierced hole.

"Is it hurting?"

"No."

He continued working.

"There."

"It's in?"

"Yeah, miss just stick it in, push it through."

She smirked. "Sounds like we're talking about something a little different."

"The hell we are. When the time comes, if you tell me to just push it in, you're losing all your rights to tell me what you want." He kissed her.

"But what if that's what I want?"

He scrunched his face. "Please, love, leave the beginning of our first time to me."

"Leave the beginning to you? Have you something in mind?"

He put his hands on the table behind the chair she was sitting on. He had her locked in between his arms. "I have."

"Uh-hum."

He leaned into a kiss.

"Tell me?"

He shook his head.

"Nickie, tell me."

"I'm more do than talk."

She smiled. "I know. But I'm curious."

She ran her hand over the side of his face. He turned to kiss it.

"I'll tell you one thing. Alright?"

"Okay."

His eyes locked with hers. "I love you."

"I love you too, but that's not telling me one thing."

"Sure it is." He kissed her cheek.

"How so?"

He rubbed the side of her face with his.

"Nickie, please tell me how so," she whispered.

He looked back at her again. "Sex is nice with whoever. You get a good feeling. But with the person you love," his eyebrows furrow, "it won't just be sex. At least in my head; I've obviously never been with the person I love. Taking the experiences I have though, and then thinking of them with you, well, I guess there's a reason they call it lovemaking."

He leaned over to her ear. "Just the thought of you, completely naked," he half-smiled, "with me...it shakes me. Goes deep. The thought to see you...satisfied, gets to me."
